Customization

You can configure commands in order to execute on cwd/ls, example:


AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status '/usr/bin/git log')
# Or...
AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status '[[ -d $PWD/.git ]] && /usr/bin/git log|head')

You may redefine default functions or define custom functions to be run on cwd/enter-key:

  • Before loading auto-ls define a function to be executed:

    auto-ls-custom_function () {
      echo "Current directory list:"
      ls -ltra
    }
    
    • Be sure to call it auto-ls-<name of your function>.
  • Configure auto-ls to load your function. Put the following line before sourcing auto-ls:

    AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(custom_function)
    
    • Only use <name of your function> rather than auto-ls-<name of your function>.

You may as well load the default functions, ls and git-status:

 AUTO_LS_COMMANDS=(ls git-status custom_function)

Future

  • zstyle options to customize ls options
  • zstyle options to customize git status
